I have this offer for a engineering role with monthly salary break down like this:
Base pay: 265K jpy
Fixed overtime pay: 50K jpy
Housing support: 30k jpy
Annual bonus: minimum 2x of base pay (depending on performance)
Total income in a year would be about 4.7M jpy gross.
I am also in middle of discussing for commuting allowance as well, but it can be upto 20k/month jpy.
I only plan to do 1 upto 2 years in JP so I don't expect to have salary increase during the stay. I have research a bit on budgeting and results are quite all over the place. I have got feeling this salary sits in the same tier as fresh graduate engineers which may matches with the average of Japan but low compare to big cities.
So from 0 to 10 how do you rate the quality of life with this salary? Any people that share the same budget, do you have any tip to maximize my experience? Any input is appreciated~
